Very pleased there are no casualties reported.
But, reports are too silent on input – if any – from RGPF. What is the status of their investigation?
Collision causation is either one or more of the following: (1) Defective roads, (2) Defective vehicle (plural, if other vehicles involved) or (3) Defective Driving.
We await update.
Despite increasing rate of serious road collisions, all too often there is simply no effective RGPF investigation!
Thanks God!
